Sakuga experts, where are you? Would you say this scene is by Naotoshi Shida? At around 06:30 in the episode.

What mostly made me think so is THIS moment:

I was questioning who animated the scene due to the way the characters acted out, but I really suspected Shida from the sense of form in that ONE scene from the last clip. Although I think the character acting is a little different from Naotoshi Shida, that last clip with Kaiji rising seriously reminds me of him (Kaiji rises speedily and stops with no weight, plus the slight spike of shading it is just so Shida). What would you say?

Edit: Actually, this one too. Specifically the segment where Kaiji balls up his fists and it zooms into his eyes.

I know Shida has had work with two other Madhouse anime Death Note and Hajime no Ippo, and Toei animators have work on a good amount of other Madhouse anime, so it is entirely possible. I just want to know if I'm catching Shida here.



Anyway, this show from this episode for me changes immediately from a 7 (episodes 1-10), to an 8 (11-12), to a 10/10. This was a brilliant display of human emotion and traits.

VERY interesting episode. Honestly this feels very real. Most of the time in anime characters die and you're just like ok. But here..............when one of them falls off you're like "Holy shit! He died." Its a completely different feeling in my opinion.

Yuritopia FTW!!!!!!!!! BANZAI TO YURI !!!!!!!!!!!!

Towards the end it just got really funny but yeah the majority of the time in was intense asf.

Behold of my awesomeness~
controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted.
But my feels.

Certainly, the electrically charged beams make it extra terrifying. Otherwise this episode would be a reference to "The Man Who Walked Between the Towers"

I really don't know what to say about this. 2 people fell for no reason really. I suppose they didn't have what it takes. It's important to focus ahead in these moments, as it's hard you'll get through to anyone with your voice.

Focus forward and lead by example :3

TOP TIER voice acting for everyone there. The scream, painful scared voice and fear of death by each players, it's just something. 6/5 episode, this is absolutely amazing.

This show went from interesting mental strategies to win a game to endless amounts of screaming and crying. Very irritating.

One of the most beautifully disturbing episodes in all of anime imo.
